    Which stepper motor to get is the question (For the y axis)

    I've been looking at the following Nema23....

    http://www.motiontek.ca/StepperMotor.html

    and was wondering if any one can tell me which one to get
    or have any advice for me on which one to get.

    All input is welcome, and if you have any of the following
    it would be great if you can tell me the pro's and cons and
    if you where going to change to which you would move to

    Thanks
    Navop.

    From that motiontek link, it's not that hard to choose. The smallest Nema23 size motor has 180 oz-in torque, which is plenty. You could go the next size up, if you don't mind the motor sticking out the case side. But you might not get the full use out of it, if your controller can't provide the full amps to it.

    Those $13 steppers from MPJA work great and they're simple to install. :)
